Idomeneo Selected Scenes by San Francisco Opera

Mozart's first operatic masterpiece, which premiered two days before his 25th birthday, is a thrilling mix of florid vocal writing and eloquent orchestral episodes. The great Mozartean tenor Kurt Streit returns to San Francisco in one of his signature roles: a powerful king who, in the aftermath of the Trojan War, makes a pact that he comes to regret. Vienna critics raved, "Kurt Streit masters the monster role of Idomeneo with confidence," and "his tenor radiates power, brilliance, grandeur." The superb cast, conducted by Donald Runnicles, also includes the acclaimed British mezzo-soprano Alice Coote and notable artist debuts.
